Hung
by hungthepodcast
Hung is a true crime podcast focused on cases that resist easy answers. In each episode, a mother and daughter independently examine the same criminal case from two distinct perspectives. One host evaluates the case as though she were a juror, limiting herself strictly to trial transcripts, testimony, and admitted evidence — the case as it exists inside the courtroom. The other looks beyond the trial, investigating media coverage, background context, and public response. By following each case from the courtroom to the court of public opinion, Hung explores the uneasy space where verdicts don’t align — and the case remains hung.
